Hi Lila, and welcome to NoWonder!!
The problem with trying to load those educational programs into a Windows 98 system, is that those programs do not have the latast drivers and .dll files needed to run in Windows 98. Windows 98 is that much different than the other 2 versions, making it harder to run older programs. In my opinion, it was done this way so we could all go out and buy all new programs....something they never told anyone, until they find out the hard way, as your son-in-law.
If you have any further questions, feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks again for using NoWonder!!
